NEW YORK (AP) - Three men posing as plainclothes police officers stopped a teenage boy on his way home and peppered him with questions about a fictitious robbery while recording their prank in a video that ended up on the Internet, prosecutors said.
The video of the men making the shirtless 16-year-old boy put his hands in the air and explain where he was going appeared on YouTube, a popular site where amateurs can post and view homemade movies, prosecutors said.
The boy was walking home in Queens one night last July when a burgundy car pulled alongside him and three men, including Gazi Abura, got out and told him they were police officers, District Attorney Richard Brown said.
